    If I had know about the fan vote I would have voted for Wun-Dar. At this point thought we could make our own Wun-Dar with He-Man, Faker John Cena and some paint.

    Finally hit the mother load at my Walmart today. Usually the store is a wasteland. All six pegs were packed and the two shelves below the pegs were packed with figures. Mostly all He-man and Skeletor, but they did have 2 each of everyone else. It’s nice to have the whole first series taken care of but I still haven’t figured out if I want to open them or where I’m going to display them.

    Picked up a Primal Age bat cave at Tuesday Morning for $30 I had to give all my CD figures a good rinse off so the masters made themselves at home.

    Ray Mysterio, he's part of wave 2 of the MOTWWEU so if you want him get him now. He'll fit right in with Stratos.

    If they release the right items, maybe with the wwe figures, you could probably just piece one together?

    Yeah I mentioned that earlier. I went and did some checking and it looks like Seth Rollins has the exact armor needed for Wun-Dar. We would just need someone with brown undies and boots.

    finally got around to opening up my battle cat and dont think he fits in my collection at all. was hoping i would like more than my classics battlecat but he's way lighter and doesn't feel right at all. there are a few things i like better than the classics but not enough to keep this I'm afraid. wish i cluld frankenstein them together to make a perfect battlecat but completely different molds so it wouldn't work

    IMO it can work (colorwise and sculptwise) with Club Grayskull figures. But I can see how it is a bit out of place with Classics...

    I am curious if these figures are compatible with the classics vehicles. I wonder if the up coming Land Shark is reverse compatible with the classic figures.

    The designers did say the Origins one will be bigger than the vintage one.

    Went to my first Wal-Mart for necessities in a couple months and kept an eye out. Nothing yet.

    I think they should work on some of them. I just recently got the Roton from a local vintage toy shop and it works, but it's a bit of a tight fit compared to an actual vintage figure.

    Also passed by my local Wal-Mart and still NOTHING on the pegs. It’s been like that the last four visits.

    Either I’m missing restocks or they’re just not getting anything.
